Sometimes students have to stay at school foran extra hour. If a student behaves(表现) very badly, the headteacher can suspend(使暂停上课)the student. The student can't come to school for one, two, or three days. Mr Lazares didn't like to suspend students. When he suspended students，they were happy. "A three-day holiday!" they thought. One day，a boy named Robert was in Mr Lazares' office. The boy was not behaving well in class. Mr Lazares phoned the boy's parents.“If you come to school with your son，I won't suspend him，" he said. The boy's father came to school and went with his son to every class. Other students all looked at the boy and his father. The boy was embarrassed(尴尬的).After that he behaved better.

And we should all celebrate the act of sleeping. Researchers say sleep is probably the best tool we have for memory and learning. But what about getting rest during the middle of the day?A recent study on napping(⼩睡)says short periods of sleep may help our brains work better. Past studies have shown that napping can help babies and young children learn better. And napping can help brain performance in older adults. Taking a nap may also help this group of people fight off memory loss because of the increase in their age.Many Americans do nap. But one-third of all adults in the United States are also chronically(长期的)tired, says the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC). It found that 50 million to 70 million Americans have chronic sleep disorders. However, they seem to be unwilling to tell people that they take a nap. They may think that napping shows they are weak or they don't have enough energy. It is not an uncommon opinion that only children, the very old, sick or lazy people nap. In fact, Americans sometimes do a very strange thing. Some people brag about how few hours of sleep they need each night to show that they are somehow stronger than the average human. However, that may be changing. Many offices now offer napping rooms and napping cafes(咖啡馆)are appearing in many U.S. cities, including Washington, D.C. Remember that a one-hour-long nap may be too long for young, healthy adults. It is recommended that 30 minutes is enough to remove the pressure(压⼒)and will help people feel more awake. If people nap longer, they will get trapped into deep sleep. which can be hard to get out of. If you have trouble falling asleep at night, limit your daytime nap to under 45 minutes. Also nap before 3 p.m.( )5.Who are "this group of people" in Paragraph 2?A. The babies.B. The children.C. The older adults.D. The young people.( )6 .The underlined word brag in Paragraph 3 means .A. chat sadlyB. talk proudlyC. whisper secretlyD. speak politely( )7.What may Americans think of napping in the future?A. Healthy adults needn't take a nap.B. They won't tell others about their naps.C. It may be common for Americans to take a nap.D. Only the old, the sick and children need a nap.( )8 .For a young man with sleep problems, it is good to .A. take a 40-minute-long noon napB. take a nap whenever he feels sleepyC. take a one-hour-long nap after dinnerD. take a 30-minute-long nap in the evening三、阅读表达Susan was a shy but clever girl. She couldn't see too well and had worn glasses for as long as she could remember. And again, for as long as she could remember, some of her classmates always made fun of her big glasses, laugh at her and call her names (起外号).The worst thing was that Lewis started to call her “Four Eyes”. She acted like she didn't mind, but in fact, she couldn't stand it. She was sad.One day, the class went to visit some caves (⼭洞). The children were walking towards the caves, when Lewis put his foot in a hole and fell down into it. While falling, he knocked Susan down into the hole, too. It was dark. All that could be seen was only a single ray of light coming from the cave roof. Susan and Lewis shouted for help, but no one came. In the cold dark cave, they spent a long dark night.The next morning, they still hadn't been found. Suddenly, Susan had an idea. She took a piece of wood. Then she used her glasses as a magnifying glass (放⼤镜) and focused (使聚焦) the ray of light onto the dry wood until a little fire sprang up (突然出现). Now they had a torch (⽕炬). Lewis watched all this with excitement. They used the torch to find the way out.After getting out of the cave, Lewis lowered his head and said in a low voice, “thank you for saving me, and sorry for calling you 'Four Eyes' before”. Later, Lewis told everyone what had happen ed and called Susan “Laser Light(激光)Susan.” Guess what? Susan loved that name!1. What happened to Susan and Lewis when they visited some caves?___________________________________________________________________________ 2. Why did Lewis lower his head and thanked Susan in a low voice?___________________________________________________________________________ 3. Do you think it right to call others names?

The one time I wasn’t sure of that was on September 11.I usually wake up a 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning. That day, I happened to wake up earlier. Iturned on the TV and I saw that a plane had crashed (撞击) into the North Tower of the WorldTrade Center. My first reaction (反应) was that it was a terrible accident. Then I saw another planefly into the South Tower and I realized that I was witnessing (目击) an act of terrorism.My wife and I spent the day watching the terrible pictures over again. When I watched familymembers looking for their loved ones, the pain in their eyes was something I would never forget. Icouldn’t understand how something this terrible could have happened.It wasn’t until a few weeks after September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good didcome from this tragedy (悲剧). People seem different now, more understanding, more tolerant(宽容的). Little things that seemed to be such a trouble before are no longer big things. Personally, Iam more tolerant than I was. I realize life is too short, and too precious(珍贵的), to let myself getworried over small things. I’ve learned also that you can’t take things for granted. Things changethey’re living and thein the blink of an eye. People go to work and don’t come back. One momentnext minute they’re not. And, it doesn’t matter who you are, there is nothing you can do about it.
